Oh my gossh, okay I can finally post! I have been chomping at the bit since the mail came, but I couldn't upload the pictures - and I need the pictures, to show how amazing a gifter, a person and an artist my Santa was. And the person in question.... @@MIKAGlam! :hugs3: Now the goodies! I think I will have to break this up because it is picture heavy.
I've got to get dinner on but then I will be back with part two,,,, the cosmetics part, muahaha! :wub: :wub:
When I opened my box I immediately knew that I was going to very happy with the contents - the bag is so cute and just my style!
And then when I started pulling goodies out I was totally overwhelmed...
She had written the sweetest note, that totally made me laugh because some part were so me that I just sat there going, "yup, yup, I know the feeling". :lol: I have no self control so there was no way I could wait until Christmas, but I did follow the instructions on the order to open them in.

I would have been happy stopping after one because CANDY!!! There is nothing here I don't like, and I especially adore the Mickey and Minnie Jelly Bellies. So cute!
This next gift was gorgeous and so lovely - this will fit right in with my bedroom decor, in fact I already have a spot planned for it! The classic Mickey pose and the neutral colors are everything I love in home decor!
And the last one before I stop - and one of the most amazing gifts I have ever been given. A little secret: when I read that @@MIKAGlam was doing prints for her her Secret Santa was just the tiniest, slightest little bit envious. I love all art, but am horrifically untalented at it, so to be the recipient of such a beautiful, home made gift brought me to tears. I like to think that I will come with some appropriately creative and beautiful way to display them, but most likely I will hoard them and bring the out so often to gaze at in awe. Thank you so much for the time and effort, everything is perfect!

what a beautiful gift, @@Shalott! I'm heading to bed now, but I can't wait to see the rest when I get up tomorrow.Oh my gossh, okay I can finally post!

All right, let's get part two going because I am so excited, ha ha! :w00t: More pictures, all under the spoiler so i don't bog your computer with giant images!
So in closing I just want to say thank you, a million times thank you, @@MIKAGlam! My only artistic skills are digital but I hope this thank you card is able to say everything I suck a putting into words! ♥♥♥
So the fourth gift was this adorable Stich (Lilo & Stitch) cosmetics case, and I squealed out loud when I unwrapped it - not only is it adorable, but it is the perfect size to pack my essentials! It wasn't even until I opened it that I realized there was more inside! I already felt so spoiled, I couldn't believe it!
This lip scrub and lip balm look AMAZING, and I can't wait to try them out tonight! The strawberry cream scent sounds so delectable, I may end up just eating them... wouldn't be the first time! :sdrop:
Ohemgee, Vice from Haus of Gloi is probably my HG body scent. I use it every night before bed! Not only did she pick up two of the vials for me (and these suckers last me a good long time!) she picked up another Pumpkin Butter, which I sorely need! I think I am set for the next six months or so. :smilehappyyes: The other scent is Moon Dog, and when I looked it up on Haus of Gloi's website, I was excited - it's not something I would have chosen for myself but definitely something I can see myself liking a whole lot!
Let me tell you how excited I was about this next one - I had completely forgotten I had added it to my wishlist, and a bunch of my Alchemic Muse WL stuff sold out. But Orange Blossom Tea was one of the limited scents she brought back for Black Friday, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. So when I unwrapped this, my face was basically /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :w00t: Because I did NOT think I would get my hands on this scent!
And then this amazing collection of indie shadows that I can't wait to use! I just pulled out my Catssic Literature shades and was once again so impressed by the Hello Waffle formula. I am super excited to add these guys to my collection! She chose Franz Katfka, Portrait of Purrian Grey, Call Me Ishmeow and Golden Stars, all colors I know I will get a lot of use out of!
And then this little guy was in the bag for me, too - I am such an ornament collector, I can't even describe it, ha ha! We have a 7-foot tree and every inch of it from front to back is covered. Mickey can't wait to join them, when I've eaten all the candy, of course! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@lovepink What a great gift. I have never seen that book before but it looks interesting (yes, I totally judge books by their covers). Love that Liz Earle Set! And hoorah for How bout them apples!!! And the pretty lip products! So much awesomeness. Great job @@LadyK

Uh Huh Her
A quick technical note, since it's That Time of the exchange seasons: The forum LOVES to make uploaded photos go landscape, so you have a few options:
Also, I believe the per-post photo limit is nine, so be prepared for multiple posts if you have a lot of photos!
- Take square photos (I know some cameras have that particular option now)
- Take landscape photos and just go with it
- Edit your photos so they're landscape
- Upload your photos to something like Photobucket and insert them into your posts that way (the forum doesn't change Photobucket stuff)
Also, I believe the per-post photo limit is nine, so be prepared for multiple posts if you have a lot of photos!
